Private Ownership of Pickup/Lorry

Kurayamino SG

Everyone I've asked so far has told me that pickups/lorrys are classified as commercial vehicles and can only be owned by companies. Can somebody verify this?

I've looked at the LTA website, and it does not mention anything about private ownership of goods vehicles. I checked the Road Traffic Act and also can't find anything about restrictions on ownership. If I'm not mistaken, I've seen vehicles like Kangoos on the road with private plates before. Is this just an urban myth or something?

Hi Kuramino, You may call LTA Customer Service Hotline: 1800-2255582 or 62255582 for clarification.

yes, only to companies. when you register with LTA, you need a company chop to process your purchase too.

So I can't buy a land rover defender without a company chop.

There're basically 4 types of commercial vehicles.
